• Halve snacking tomatoes. Thinly slice apple into wedges. • Place chicken thigh between two sheets of baking paper. Pound chicken with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are an even thickness, about 1cm. • In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour, salt, garlic & herb seasoning and a pinch of pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese (reserve some Parmesan for garnish!). Dip chicken into flour mixture to coat, then into egg, and finally in breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

• In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat the base over medium-high heat.
• Cook crumbed chicken in batches until golden and cooked through, 3-5 minutes each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
TIP: Add extra oil if needed so the schnitzel does not stick to the pan.

• In a large bowl, combine a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and olive oil. • Top with spinach & rocket mix, tomato and apple. Season and toss to combine.

• Divide tomato-apple salad and Italian chicken cottoletta between plates. • Sprinkle over reserved Parmesan cheese. Top salad with flaked almonds. • Serve with dill & parsley mayonnaise. Enjoy!
